Down in Mexicali There's a crazy little place that I know Where the drinks are hotter, than the chili sauce And the boss is a cat named Joe
(Chorus) He wears a red bandana Plays a cool piana (piano is pronounced piana in this song) In a honky tonk, down in Mexico He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache In honky tonk, down in Mexico
Well, the first time that I saw him He was sittin on a piano stool I said "Tell me man, when does the fun begin?" He just winked his eye and said "Man, be cool."
(Chorus) He wears a red bandana Plays a cool piana In a honky tonk, down in Mexico He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache In a honky tonk, down in Mexico
In Mexico...
All of a sudden in walks a chick
In Mexico...
Joe starts playin on a latin kick
In Mexico...
Around her waist she wore three fishnets
In Mexico...
She started dancin with the castanets
In Mexico...
I didn't know just what to expect
In Mexico...
She threw her arms around my neck
In Mexico...
We started dancin all around the floor (In Mexico...) And then she did a dance I never saw before
So if you're south of the border I mean down in Mexico And you wanna get straight Man, don't hesitate Just look up a cat named Joe
(Chorus) He wears a red bandana Plays a cool piana In a honky tonk, down in Mexico He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache In a honky tonk, down in Mexico
